Updated: Man released after driving car on Stadium Course green

No damage was done to the green; incident will not affect tournament play

TPC Sawgrass superintendent Tom Vlach and his assistant Jeff Reich were more than surprised Thursday night to find a Jacksonville couple inside a Pontiac G6 Coupe -- parked on the eighth green of the TPC Sawgrass Players Stadium Course.

According to a report by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, William John Rinaldi and Brianna Lynn Borelli, who share the same Jacksonville address, were discovered by Vlach and Reich around 9 p.m. Thursday, inside the car, parked on the eighth green, with the motor running.

After Rinaldi refused to turn the motor off and get out of the car at Vlach's request, he called 911. When sheriff's deputies arrived, Rinaldi and Borelli were outside the vehicle. There was no damage to the green and Vlach declined to press charges as long as the two were issued a trespass warning.

"The best thing about it is I don't think there was any intent to tear up the course," said Capt. Dave Messenger of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office on Friday. "It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen."

Borelli's mother came to take the vehicle off the property.

PGA Tour rules official Stephen Cox said Friday morning that it was fortunate no damage was done to the green requiring repair other than the normal mowing and rolling done each morning before play.

Garry, what did you do for fun before that high speed driving ripped out all your hair?? You've never once had to explain the 'Mystery stain' in the back seat?? You've led a sheltered life. I know you watched the TPC instead of watching paint dry.
